The Flow-Through Shares will qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec)).
The Company has also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 15% Flow-Through Shares to cover over-allotments, exercisable in whole or in part at any time prior to the closing date of the Offering.
The gross proceeds from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used for general exploration expenditures on Amex's properties located in Quebec.
The Offering is scheduled to close on or about February 15, 2022, or such other date as agreed between the Company and the underwriters, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
In connection with the Offering, the underwriters will receive on closing of the Offering a cash commission of 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, other than for purchasers on a president's list, for which a cash fee of 3.0% of the aggregate proceeds of the Flow-Through Shares will be paid. The same commission shall be paid to the underwriters in connection with any Flow-Through Shares issued or sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' option.

All statements, other than of historical facts, that address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words "will", "should", "continue", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "believe", "intend", "to earn", "to have', "plan" or "project" or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict, that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, failure to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals, the termination of the agreement governing the Offering, general business and economic conditions, changes in world gold markets, sufficient labour and equipment being available, changes in laws and permitting requirements, unanticipated weather changes, title disputes and claims, environmental risks as well as those risks identified in the Company's annual Management's Discussion and Analysis. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described and accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
